My Vernon - Excellent driver. But, there was not enough time to see the entire estate. By the time we finished with the home tour, we were rushed to get back on the bus.

Disappointed - The grounds are nice. Unfortunately the house is being renovated and if we had known ahead of time we would have gone on another tour

1st Driver Robert very good. Hard to identify bus. Was looking for Viator sign. Bobbie 2nd driver thinks he is comedian. - About 2% of Mt Vernon home open to viewing. Wait until reconstruction completed. Reconstruction was noted in booking but was way more than what review said.

Tour is shorter than advertised. - I booked the Mt. Vernon tour through All Washington View, but the tour was actually done by Loba Tours. Washington View advertised it as from 11 AM to 5 PM, but once we got to Mt. Vernon we were told we would depart there at 3 PM. We returned to the Hyatt Regency at 4 PM, so our entire tour was shorted by one hour. The Loba Tours website says it's a 5 hour tour (11 to 4), but Washington View advertises it as a 6 hour tour (11 to 5). Other than that, it was a nice, but abbreviated tour. Not worth the price.

Very short time at site. - Excursion said 9-2. Didn’t specify we would be dropped off at the site at 10am for travel time and then picked up and 12:30pm to head back. 2.5 hrs to tour the place is definitely not enough. You won’t even have time to have lunch. Bobby was great!

Mount Vernon Disappointment - Don’t go to mount vernon while it is under renovation. Not a lot to see if the mansion (which is the main focal point) is closed.

Either a scam or extremely prompt on departure time. - Five minutes late and they were gone. No one answered the phone. Did the tour even take place or was it a scam?
Later response was you can re-book another day which of course conflicted with other reservations.
I do not trust this group.
